Ignore routing for a specific folder - reactjs

I have an Asp.NET WebAPI project and a ReactJS app stored under <web-root>\app.
The react app itself is expecting a parameter passed in the URL
http://web-root/app/my-super-parameter.
How do I configure the routing in the ASP.NET app itself so it ignores that app folder and calls it as it is? Right now I'm getting a 404 error when calling the URL.
When creating the ReactApp I use http://localhost:5000/my-super-parameter and it works as needed. The time came to deploy to production under the same website as the REST project itself.
What's the best way to accomplish this?
Thx

HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found - backend .net core, frontend react hosted on azure app service

HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found
The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.
I got this error when accessing react frontend. the app is hosted on the azure app service. so anyone knows how to fix this? is it need to be done in react side?

Nextjs 404 error on reload/ refresh action

I'm using Nextjs for a front-end application and dotnet core 3.1 for the Web API. There are some pages that are static and other that are dynamic I followed the official documentation to achieve this. On development mode (local machine) everything works fine. Both static and dynamic routes are working properly and fetching data from the dontnet core Web API.
However, when publishing the Nextjs app following this steps:
yarn build
yarn export
An out folder is generated at the root of the project
The content of that folder is uploaded to the server
After, the deployed files are uploaded and when loging to the app, it redirects to the main page (until here is working OK), but as soon as I click on the reload page botton (Chrome) I am gettint the 404 error.
Looking at the console in the developer tools I got this:
I found this Stackoverflow link with same issue but there the answer is to use Express for server routing. In my case I am using dotnet core Web API for server requests. So, not sure how to do that.
Is there a way to fix this from the client side? Might be a configuration is missing?
The only thing I noticed while doing the export was a message saying: No "exportPathMap" found. Not sure if that would the the reason.
I had got similar issue in react when all of my pages after building and exporting had ".html" extensions. I solved it by the following code in next.config.js file.
next.config.js
module.exports = {
exportTrailingSlash: true,
}
Note: Do not work with the above code while in development. Use it just before building the project.
You can find the documentation link here: https://nextjs.org/docs/api-reference/next.config.js/exportPathMap#adding-a-trailing-slash.
UPDATE
The above code was for next.js v9.3.4 which I was using at that time. For newer versions below code should be used according to docs.
next.config.js
module.exports = {
trailingSlash: true,
}
it has been fixed update your nextjs package
npm install next#latest
based on the current version of Next js you have, visit here to see if there's any breaking change before updating what you have
I had a similar issue where after deploying the out folder created by next export all URL's would redirect me to the homepage. Everything was working fine during development and all URL's were accessible with next/link but in order to access pages with a URL I had to add a .html extension at the end of the URL.
Because I needed a quick workaround I added a useEffect block in the _app.tsx file for rerouting so that upon landing on the homepage it would act as if a Link component was clicked redirecting to the entered URL.
useEffect(()=>{
router.push(window.location.href)
},[])

Cannot access pages with direct url after building project for deployment Spring and React

When running my spring app from my IDE and running the React app from within VSCode, everything worked perfectly. I used the build script to build my React project, and then put the output into my /static folder of Spring. Then I used mvn clean install to build the .jar file. After running the entire app from the .jar file, I can access my homepage with localhost:5000. I can also use my navbar links to access different parts of the website, like the Home page and the About page... But if I try to manually enter the url localhost:5000/about I get a 404 Not found error.. What am I doing wrong?
My guess is that your Spring (webmvc?) application is not configured to listen to different URLs other than /. And while it may seem as if the navbar successfully redirects to http://localhost:5000/about, in reality the single page application uses JavaScript client-side routing to change the URL in the browser, unload the currently rendered page, and load another page.
If you are indeed using Spring MVC, you could (among other options) modify your Spring static resource configuration, modify your #RequestMapping to listen to multiple endpoints, or use a ViewControllerRegistry.

How to deploy a react application on a static server

I have a react application build with create-react-app. Its using octoberCMS as the backend fetching data using Axios calls from the frontend. Till now I was developing keeping the build content of react inside a directory named 'react' in the root directory of octoberCMS installation. Hence the URL I was hitting was http://example.com/react/.
The problem is now I am done with the development phase and look forward to deployment. But I want my front-end to be served at http://example.com and backend to be served at http://example.com/backend (backend served as I want). How can I achieve this? I am fairly new to both frameworks.
I have tried keeping the build content along with the rest of the octoberCMS
First build your react app that will give you vendor.js[third party scripts] and your app.js[your actual app]
put them in to theme directory assets something
Then In Ocotber CMS make page with URL /:url? and paste your index.html content there.
it will be your root div and including js html, change path for js which points to the build js which you put in theme directory.
now what happens when anybody come to site
- we are serving same content as we do in dev build
- index.html with root tag and needed js
Now if use hit any other url like https://www.example.com/test/etc it also will be catch by /:url? (and all other requests) and home page served and our react app will work as we needed.
if any questions please comment.

Hosting a React app with React Router on a static server

Situation:
I'm building a React app with React Router.
It was generated from create-react-app.
I need to host it statically.
If I visit the home page first and then click around, everything works fine.
Problem:
When visiting a sub page directly such as https://www.example.com/path/page server returns 404 error because /path/page is not a valid directory on the server.
For as far as I can tell, the server is just serving up files statically, and I cannot change how the server is written (I know I could solve this problem by routing all accesses to the react app with some server code, but this is not an option).
How can I make all urls directly visitable by only changing code in my react app?
After some research, I figured out that what I needed was a static site generator.
There are a couple of options available that works with React.js
React Static
Gatsby
Next JS
